Provisional attachment under the second proviso to section 5(1) is upheld where the officer records specific reasons to believe non-attachment would frustrate proceedings; the commentary rejects the appellant's excessive-attachment claim, noting FIR allegations are investigatory starting points and quantum of proceeds requires separate ED inquiry.

Income tax filings declaring tainted receipts do not negate PMLA liability. The article concludes the respondent established a money trail and the attachment and proposed confiscation stand undisplaced.
